If you want to conquer the Granite Giant, you must first find out how strong it is.
"Is throwing stones a natural skill or a combat skill?"
If it is an innate skill, then it can be foreseen that this battle will be very tragic.
So what if it's combat skills?
"Let's assume that the granite giant has 40 points of mana."
This is already preset in the direction of doubling the normal mana. After all, it is a wild BOSS, and he will be equipped with treasures.
No one can tell for sure what equipment the granite giant is equipped with until there is a head-on battle.
"Let's also assume that every time the granite giant uses stone throwing, it needs to consume 1 mana point."
Then let’s estimate first that this wild elite BOSS can throw stones 40 times.
Needless to say, the defense power of an earth elemental BOSS must be frighteningly high.
As for its attack power, you can tell by its size. If it hits an ordinary soldier, it will definitely cause crushing damage.
Except for the tree people, none of Ai Lan's soldiers could block its punch.
Based on this calculation, Ai Lan would have to get at least half, or even more than half, of his men in to be able to kill the granite giant.
This still doesn't count the rock puppets under it.
A quick look from a distance showed that there were at least fifty rock puppets on the stone beach, enough to cause them a lot of trouble.
"It's difficult."
Just the rough assumption made Ai Lan feel a little numb.
But it is absolutely impossible for him to give up like this.
"A level 12 elite BOSS has at least 8-10 combat skills."
The skills he can guess so far are, first of all, hard stone skin, or an enhanced version of stone skin.
This skill definitely exists, and it may even be an innate skill.
Secondly, throwing stones has been used, and Mars said that there is also the method of slowing down.
These are the three. In addition, Ai Lan guesses that the BOSS of the earth element system must be indispensable for the magic of earth control.
There are also earth element resistance, body shield, magic stone skin, earthquake/shock wave, swamp spell, quicksand trap, etc.
That should pretty much be it.
After reaching the sky, summon the earth element again, or open the earth element channel.
After some calculations, Ai Lan slowly had a vague plan in mind.
"It's definitely possible to fight."
In fact, in the competition of hard power, their side had the upper hand from the beginning.
With Ai Lan's hard-earned wealth, there is no problem in killing a wild BOSS.
But as a commander, he needs to consider more than just how to win a battle.
If the casualties in this battle are too large, it will have a serious impact on their future development.
"The key is the location."
The time of day and the people are not things that Ai Lan should consider now.
"The gravel on the stone beach is too beneficial to the enemy."
The intelligence of the wild elite cannot be underestimated. When the stone throwing skill is used up, it will definitely pick up stones on the ground and hit people.
The gravel on the stone beach is the best ammunition depot for the granite giant.
"Do you want to lure the enemy away?"
The opponent has the Slowing Technique, or even the Swamp Technique. If you lure the enemy somewhere, big trouble can easily happen.
Ai Lan looked at the shepherd's whip in her hand and slowly made a plan in her mind.
"The first step of the plan is to graze through a forest and occupy this stone beach."
He can then secretly control trees, hold down boulders, or push rocks off the ground.
It is still unknown how the granite giant will react.
But this move changes the battlefield, not only destroying the enemy's ammunition reserves, but also gaining geographical advantage.
The most important thing is that the range of action of the Shepherd Whip is 500 meters.
The Granite Giant's skill range is unlikely to reach this distance.
Even if it is an earthquake or shock wave, how much power will it still have if the distance exceeds 500 meters?
In other words, Ai Lan can hide in the forest, and then graze in the forest from a distance, testing the tricks of the granite giant bit by bit.
When the forest completely takes over the original stone beach, the plan can move to the second step.
Ai Lan really hasn't thought about how to take this step.
The key is that he cannot predict the actions of the granite giant at all. This is the first time he has encountered this type of wild elite.
"We have to take one step at a time."
He has a few trump cards in his hand, which he can use to fend off others at critical moments.
Blindness is one, Entangling Roots is definitely one, and Renne's Muscle Explosion is also one.
Kaka's rapid growth can barely be counted as one.
Aphra's gem magic cannot exert much power because the number of gems is not enough.
Next, they really don't have anything good that can be used to block this granite giant.
"That's it for the time being, let's try to hit it once."
"Anyway, let's trick out all the enemy's skills first."
The first step of the plan is very simple and does not require direct contact with the enemy.
In fact, what Ai Lan is most worried about in this battle is that as a high-level field elite, the granite giant may turn around and run away if he finds something is wrong.
When this happens, things get really troublesome.
The possibility of this is very low, but not impossible.
"Mars, from now on, all actions will be under my command."
"Can it be done?"
If he can't do it, Ai Lan would rather Mars not join the war.
"No problem, you are the main force."
Fortunately, Mars didn't cause any trouble and joined Ai Lan's subordinates obediently.
"Ding, town resident Mars has temporarily joined your team."
Ocean Knight Mars [Town Resident]: Ocean Knight from the Bubble Islands, skills: military weapon mastery, knight's glory, tide charge, block, whirlpool thrust.
"Citizens?"
It turned out to be a brand new template, and Ai Lan became interested in Mars' detailed attribute panel.
If you recruit him, you might find something interesting.
As for Mars' combat effectiveness, just looking at the panel is indeed quite good.
But he is a knight of the ocean, this is land, and Mars has a fighting ability, so if he can perform 50% of the 100%, it will be pretty good.
He is also a knight, and most of his skills require charging to be used.
With the way Mars was jumping and jumping, Ai Lan didn't have any expectations for his true combat effectiveness.
"Mars, you will always be with me from now on. You will go wherever I go."
Seahorse Knight has no long-range skills, so there will be no place where he can be used for a while.
Ai Lan simply arranged for him to be by her side and let him act as a personal guard.
"No problem, I am an experienced knight."
"When you charge, I will block the arrows for you."
"Hoo ho ho ho ho!" Mars waved the small buckler vigorously a few times, looking confident.
"I am the commander, I don't need to launch a charge." Ai Lan glanced at him sideways.
Why does this guy seem to be a bit showy?
"Your mission is correct. Help me block the incoming arrows and flying rocks."
"Just do this well, and you don't have to worry about other things."
The next battle is bound to be a tough one, and one Ocean Knight will not make much difference.
After arranging Mars' mission, Ai Lan went to find other people to explain the tactics.
Realizing that his task was just to be a human shield, Mars opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But looking at Ai Lan's busy figure, he sighed silently, twitched his tail, and followed cautiously.
